Doubt it's one of ours, but the cafe build looks good... but asking too much...

Who builds GREEN cafes?  That's why I assumed that it's not one of us:









He wants $3300 for his 77 CB550F...  Too much?!

I agree it's to much, but it does look good. I personally like the green paint scheme, but don't like a liscense plate mounted like that. And what is normal oil leakage ???

I was thinking about building a green cafe.... with an Irish-esque theme.  I really like the way that looks.

That is a good job!  If it runs as good as it looks (love that seat!), why would $3300 be too much?  Seems like a fair price to me for a great finished bike.

 It appears all you are buying is cosmetic's and by his own words a motor that probably needs more than just a tune up. I agree it's a gooding bike and I too like the seat. The paint job looks good but the numbers "77" take away from it IMO.

I don't see the problem with a green bike.  It does need some more 'flake though  ;)
